Writing Poetry

This writing lab has been postponed to a future date TBD. We will not have a writing lab on April 10, 2020.


Presenter: Allen Plone

Description: 

Unraveling the mystery of the poem. Emphasis on the craft or writing poetry, including poetic diction, metaphor, simile, meter and rhythm. The different poetic forms are shown and discussed; lyric, prose, sonnet and ekphrastic are emphasized. Modern poetry, including rap and slam are explored. The class delves into the intention behind a poem and the why of a poem, not what a poem means. For prose writers, the class investigates how poetic diction and metaphor can spark your writing, making it come alive in a heart-to-heart connection with your reader. Attendees are encouraged to bring in three to five of their poems for analysis. Each attendee will be given a 50 page manual to help them with their poetic intentions, regardless of what they may be.
